1/2-Inch Drive 12-Point Long Deep Socket, 8–36mm Range

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade long deep socket series designed for 1/2-inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. The 12-point double hexagon profile provides reliable engagement with fasteners while reducing the risk of rounding. Chrome-plated finish ensures corrosion resistance and durability in shop environments. The extended length reaches recessed fasteners that standard sockets cannot access—essential for engine work, suspension assembly, and tight clearance applications.

For shops requiring complementary tools, pair these with impact-rated short sockets for versatile fastening solutions, or consider our complete 10-piece impact socket set to streamline inventory management.

Key Features

• 12-Point Double Hexagon Profile – Engages fastener flats with reduced cam-out risk; ideal for precise torque application
• Extended Length (77–85mm) – Reaches deep recesses and confined spaces where standard sockets fall short
• Chrome-Plated Steel Construction – Corrosion-resistant finish; maintains appearance and functionality across repeated use cycles
• Knurled Grip Ring – Textured surface near the base improves handling and reduces slipping during high-leverage operations
• Size Range: 8–36mm – 19 individual sizes cover metric fastener standards from precision work to heavy-duty applications
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive – Compatible with all standard 1/2" ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Turnover Category – Long sockets are consumable-adjacent items; shops replenish regularly due to fastener damage or socket wear
• Bulk Order Flexibility – Customers often purchase complete size ranges or subset ranges (8–15mm for small engines, 16–36mm for industrial work)
• Margin Resilience – Professional-grade chrome sockets hold steady margins; end-users prefer quality over discount alternatives
• Cross-Sell Potential – Pair with impact sockets, swivel adapters, and drive extensions for larger basket values
• Stock Efficiency – Single series replaces multiple product lines; reduces SKU clutter while meeting 90% of automotive socket requests
